I have had 4 of these heaters since 2003. 2 of them I purchased at a time at different times from different companies. But they are the same model but made during different manufacturing runs. The tops of them are different. Two of my heaters have one slight issue, they are on the same frequency as my Direct TV satellite remote controls. So those two units have been moved out of the rooms with the TVs. Using the remotes to change the channel or volume would change the temperature, etc. on the heater. Oh well, the other two work fine. I liked this heater so well that I bought one for my mother last year.

My office gets very, very cold and I’ve had my share of space heaters over the years to keep me warm. One that did the job quite well was the Pelonis HC 441 Safe-T-Furnace. This little heater warmed up quickly and produced plenty of hot air.

I only replaced it because I was looking for something that offered the ability to oscillate, so that the hot air wasn’t quite so focused on one spot.

This is a heater that we use in our workplace and it’s about to get a hard year of use this coming winter.

A Hot Sleek Item

This is the slimmest and coolest looking heater I have ever seen. The picture above shows it with the legs. It’s when the option of removing those legs and use the mounting holes on the back to hang the heater on a wall that it gives a very modern, contemporary look. It almost looks like a flat screen TV and is but 2 1/2″ deep off the wall! The other dimensions read 26 1/2″w and 20″h.

The Honeywell HZ-315 is a no-frills single room ceramic heater with a clean and simple design. The unit displays a power on light and a single control knob for turning the fan ON and setting the desired temperature.

I work from a smaller office, about 12 ft by 14 ft where the primary building heat source is a heat pump. In the winter, I use the Honeywell HZ-315 to heat only the space in use at the time. Despite the HZ-315’s relatively small size, it quickly heats my office from barely tolerable to quite comfortable (and more) in a reasonably short time, raising my office temperature from 64 degrees to 68 degrees in about 20 minutes.
